Warner Bros and Amazon in talks for a Lord Of The Rings TV Series

Reports have it
that Amazon Studios is in talks with Warner Bros. Television and the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien to produce a Lord
of the Rings TV series. According to variety, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is personally involved in
the negotiations, which means that things are probably pretty serious.

Both WB and
the Tolkien estate have been trying to get a show based on the classic fantasy
novel off the ground for a while now, with several different parties all
showing interest. Amazon has emerged as the frontrunner, though, and may just
be the one to bring this project to fruition – which is hugely exciting.

Peter Jackson’s epic
trilogy delivered a rich tapestry of storylines and character relationships
that expanded and grew with every installment, with each film being
marginally better than the last. They were all exceptionally well made though
and to this day, still stand as some of the genre’s finest achievements.
